when is ALSA + system beep going to work?

beep in 2.6.x has been totally absent - dmasound works, but sounds like
crap, but alsa sounds just wonderful, but no beep. i know some folks
hate the beep, but i'm used to it, and like it (sometimes ;).
when i build a 2.6.x, i see some undefined warnings concerning some ts
thing (can't remember what exactly), and AFAICR, it has to do with the
beep. is there a patch to fix this, or has this been really low on the
list of "get fixed soon" priorities, and i should go beepless for
another release?
